2 Fire safety DS 428.4 Code for technical measures for fire protection in ventilation systems Systemair has a complete range of components for fire protection of ventilation systems. This brochure will provide a list of the most commonly used components, including fire- and smoke dampers, smoke dampers, smoke evacuation dampers and a fire control system for monitoring and exercising of the dampers. It also shows various system solutions that provide an overview of the different possible combinations, all of which are in accordance with the fire protection standard DS 428.4. DS 428.4 Foreword The standard contains a number of requirements that dictate how to achieve a responsible fire technical safety and operation of ventilation systems. Introduction The standard contains a number of requirements to ensure a responsible fire technical construction of ventilation systems, so that the risk for start, developing and spreading of a fire due to the ventilation system is minimized. Scope The purpose of this standard is to ensure that mechanical ventilation systems shall be designed, executed and maintained in such a manner that the potential for start, developing and spreading of a fire due to the system is minimized. The standard contains requirements regarding design, construction, testing, and operation of mechanical ventilation systems. The standard applies to mechanical and hybrid ventilation systems permanently installed in buildings. Installations for natural ventilation must be performed according to this standard to the extent that they can be assimilated with mechanical ventilation. Installations for industrial or semi-industrial processes and storage should at least follow the requirements in the standard, but there may be additional requirements from authorities. Definitions Fire section: Separation with building material class (R) EI60 A2-s1, d0 (formerly BS60) Fire cell: Separation with building material class (R) EI60 (formerly BD60) R: Carrying capacity E: Integrity I: Isolation S: Tightness for smoke A2: Non-combustible material S1: Very limited smoke development D0: No burning droplets RV: Smoke fan intended for a smoke extraction system Ho: Horizontal Ve: Vertical i o: Fire from the inside and outside. Fire-, flame-, smoke- and smoke evacuation dampers B: Fire- and smoke damper class EI60 (ve ho i o)s, 70 C fire thermostat, spring-return actuator. Shall prevent fire and smoke being spread between fire sections. F: Flame- and smoke damper class E60 (ve ho i o)s, 70 C fire thermostat, spring-return actuator. Shall prevent smoke being spread between fire sections. : Smoke damper class E30 (ve ho i o)s, spring-return actuator. Shall prevent smoke being spread between fire cells. RES: Smoke evacuation damper class E30 (ve ho i o)s, spring-return actuator. Must ensure the discharge of smoke during a fire situation. Dampers shall be tested according to EN 1366 and classified according to EN 13501-3, appendix classes ho ve i o. Monitoring must be installed through the control system, which checks the function of the sensors and damper actuators. Flexible connections: Must comply with class A2-s1,d0, melting point of at least 850 C, max length of 300 mm for fan connections in unexploitable attic. Roof curbs: Must be insulated with 50 mm insulation A2-s1,d0, through the roof, minimum 100 mm under and 100 mm above the roof. System solutions: The duct system must be such designed, that the risk of smoke and fire spreading to other fire cells, fire sections or similar building units is not increased. Damper-secured system: Securing a ventilation system against spreading of smoke must be based on the creation of reasonable security against that smoke and combustion products can enter the duct system. Smoke-ventilated systems: Securing a ventilation system against spreading of smoke must be based on the creation of reasonable security against that smoke and combustion products, which have entered the duct system, can not be spread through the duct system to other fire cells, fire sections or similar building units. A smoke-ventilated system must be such designed, that smoke in the system is discharged to the outside with reasonable safety. A smoke-ventilated system cannot be combined with fire-, flame- and/or smoke damper, which prevents the discharge of smoke that has entered the system. With the exception of the outermost fire cell or similar building units, from where spreading of smoke to other fire cells, or similar building units are impossible. In a smokeventilated system, the smoke must run via a duct, by-passing parts of the system with large flow resistance, or components in which the risk of clogging of the smoke particles from a fire is great. This includes filters, heat recovery components, heating- and cooling coils, etc.
Fire safety 3 Fire Safety in Ventilation Systems Fire Safety Regarding fire safety of ventilation systems, the most important is: To save lives and valuable inventory, and to ensure good working conditions for the rescue team. A fire occurrence must be limited before it develops into a disaster. Foremost to save lives, but also significant values may be lost. The requirements for personal safety and the emergency response capacity are very closely linked to the risk of fire spreading and stability of the building. Strategically, this means that in case of a fire, persons must be able to exit the building by themselves or with help from the rescue team. Buildings and especially inventory contain an amount of combustible material. A correct fire safety of ventilation systems can prevent heat and smoke from spreading through the ventilation system. Should for example a too early destabilization of the building occur, a collapse can cause a disaster risk of a significant size. Fire safety in ventilation plants is thus necessary in modern buildings.

12 Fire Safety Smoke-ventilated system Excerpts from DS 428.4 Smoke-ventilated systems can be used in all usage-categories, but are especially suitable for usage category 4, 5, 6, and for buildings whose upper floors are higher than 22 meters above the ground. Usage category 4, are for example residential buildings and youth housing, where there is a requirement for 24 hours of operation of the ventilation system. Usage category 5, are for example hotels, hostels, inns, dorms and guesthouses where there is a requirement for full automatic fire alarm- and warning systems, if there are more than 10 beds. Otherwise, a voluntary automatic fire alarm- and warning system must be considered. Alternatively there must be established a damperensured system, which must be either for 24 hours of operation or with an automatic fire alarm- and warning system, which is required if there are more than 10 beds. Usage category 6 Elderly housing, treatment rooms and wards on hospitals, nurseryhomes, homes and institutions for people with fysical or mental difficulties, nurseries and kindergartens. All buildings where a complete automatic fire alarm- and warning system is demanded. A smoke-ventilated system must be such designed, that smoke in the system is discharged to the outside with reasonable safety. A smoke-ventilated system cannot be combined with fire-, flame- and/or smoke damper, which prevents the discharge of smoke that has entered the system. In a smokeventilated system, the smoke must run via a duct, by-passing parts of the system with large flow resistance or components in which the risk of clogging of the smoke particles from a fire is high. This includes filters, heat recovery components, heating- and cooling coils etc. A by-pass duct is equipped with a smoke evacuation Ventilation room Fire cell Explanation of symbols Fire section separation Fire cell separation ULHI RES AKHI RV RES DPT RESBTB P Ventilation duct Smoke damper RES B Smoke evacuation damper Fire- and smoke damper 30 Pa P 30 Pa 30 Pa 30 Pa 30 Pa x xxpa Smoke resistance indicated in Pa B-iso Fire insulation Iso Insulation RV Smoke fan Fire thermostat or temperature sensor BTB P Pressure transmitter DPT R Smoke detector, duct mounting RDK-2 ABA+AVA Auto. fire alarm- and warning system Example 3, elderly housing, usage category 6 Residential ventilation with heat recovery unit and smoke fan (50/30 Pa).

Fire Safety 13 damper that is closed at normal operation with voltage (currentless open). A smoke-ventilated system is generally performed as a duct class EI 30/E60 A2-s1,d0, which also includes ducts in installation shafts and unexploitable attics. An exception to this is ducts in the ventilation room, ducts in the open air (outdoor) and ducts that only serve one fire section and are located within this. Ducts in an unexploitable attic, which only serves one fire section and are located within this, must be insulated with minimum 50 mm insulation class A2-s1,d0. Branches from a fire insulated duct Ventilation room Fire cell should be fire insulated corresponding to the diameter of the branch, but a minimum of 0.2 m. For an extraction system, reasonable safety for the discharge of smoke to the outside can be achieved by: Smoke-ventilated system with smoke fan in operation, where all residential fire cells is performed with a minimum of smoke resistance.

14 Fire Safety Smoke-ventilated system Excerpts from DS 428.4 For supply air systems, where the extract system in the operated fire sections or similar fire units are designed as smoke-ventilated system, can reasonable safety for the discharge of smoke to the outside be achieved by: Converted system, where the supply air system is designed as a smoke-ventilated duct system, supplemented with a smoke fan or coupled with the smoke fan in the extract system. All residential fire units are performed with a minimum of 30 Pa smoke resistance. A smoke resistance including connected ducts and possible flexible connections must everywhere be performed as material class A2-s1, d0 with a melting point of at least 850 C. The smoke fan can be the extract fan for the normal operation or a separate fan exclusively for smoke extraction. The connection point for the smoke fan must be at or above the upper channel system branching to the AKHI (Alternatively, roof fan type DVG-V/F-EC) KBR/F-EC RV FLXB P Cebocon10 ULA Cooker hood EFF/RFP Example 5 Residential ventilation with the smoke fan as daily, normal fan (): 1 pcs.

Fire Safety 15 operating area, so that smoke will not be sucked down into a duct system with branches. A smoke fan must be able to withstand the occurring temperature for 60 min. after the fire has started, valid from a normal-temperature operating fan with a minimum of 1 hours operation and at an ambient temperature of 20 C without cooling from wind or rain. Functional requirement is documented by manufacturer. Discharge duct AKHI Exhaust over roof ridge The temperature at the smoke fan is set as a mixing temperature, consisting of 945 C from the fire room, and 20 C from the remaining rooms (the mixing temperature must be at least 100 C). The fire room is usually determined as the fire cell with the largest air volume - for systems with variable air volume, uses the maximum air volume rate. For calculation of the maximum flue gas temperature, the maximum air volume in the fire room is used. For remaining rooms, use diversity factor 0.2 for the difference in air volume between minimum and maximum air volume without incalculation of other diversity factors. The air volume depends on the building s density and is typically smaller than the air volume. The volume must be sufficient to ensure the system s required smoke resistance, however pressure limited to a maximum of 100 Pa negative pressures at the upper branch to the operating area. This negative pressure must be maintained at maximum and minimum opening of diffusers and dampers in systems with variable air volume.
